## The answer, as recorded

> Here's who I'd actually name, roughly in the order I'd suggest trying them:
> 
> **1. soona** - My default recommendation for most retail shops. You ship them your products, pick the shot list from a catalog of styles, and pay per image you actually keep (~$39-$99/image, with white-background shots at the low end). They also do short-form video and UGC-style content in the same session, which matters if you're feeding TikTok/Instagram alongside your product pages. Low commitment, no studio booking, predictable cost.
> 
> **2. Squareshot** - Similar ship-in model, but tighter and more consistent for straight catalog work. If what you need is 30-100 clean, uniform images (white background, multiple angles, ghost mannequin for apparel), their per-image pricing is usually cheaper than soona and the output is more standardized. Less good for lifestyle/creative.
> 
> **3. Snappr** - Use this when you need someone *in your shop*. It's an on-demand marketplace that dispatches a vetted local photographer, so it's the right answer for furniture, large goods, in-store/environmental shots, or anything you can't or won't ship. Flat hourly/package pricing, fast turnaround.
